I have had exactly the same problem with my Dell Inspiron 1501 with both Debian and Ubuntu based distros.

Up to Debian and Ubuntu 14.04 no problem provided you do not stray beyond kernel 3.16
Debian 9 no shutdown
Ubuntu 16.04 - LL 3.6/3.8 OK but not after that

Normal shutdown just hangs - 'Reached target Shutdown' or similar
industrial strength commands - no difference - power button is the only choice.

As far as I can tell this is down to a combination of kernel config, BIOS and ACPI not getting together properly.
I have tried all the various grub and shutdown suggestions on all the fora - it's just one of those things.
Hopefully by 2021 I'll have a new laptop ;)

Not sure what model laptop..
Couple things to try...


Unplug and remove battery - press hold power button.. Full discharge then put battery back in and try again..


If a non removal battery - Unplug power, check on bottom - there maybe a "pin hole" to allow reset.

turning off connection didn't work .  Is there anywhere I might be able to see a log of events and perhaps see an error for what is happening?

Try turning off your network connection before shutting down.

I did have a look in power manager, but everything seems fine, unless you know something specific I need to check?

As for the command line, I don't remember off the top of head. Are there different ones I can try?

Thanks

Maybe a setting in Power Manager needs changed?

Ok I went into Bios and there was an option to run the HDD on a slower setting (to conserve battery power) so I changed to that and booted.  Then I done a shutdown and it made no difference.

Hi
Not I am not dual booting, I installed lite and replaced Windows 10.
Fast boot is switched off yes.  I will check out the SSE setting and let you know if I have success.

Are you dual booting with Windows 8?
In any case make sure you have fast boot turned off in the BIOS, and/or choose the slowest SSE setting if you are SATA HDD.

I am reasonably new to linux.
I installed Linux lite 3.8 on my Toshiba.
When I try to shut down, it been won't shut down the whole way. It ends up on a black screen, leaving me to hold down the power button.
I have been searching for similar issue. I have tried a couple of things, like asking the computer to shut down via the command line - that didn't work. Also, elsewhere I saw that one person pressed enter at the black screen to close it - that didn't work either.
I have also seen that some graphics cards cause issues, especially amd but mine is not amd.

Would really appreciate any help at all :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\
